HINDU - Origin of the sacred word Hindu - Vedik***ysis CLICK HERE The Asokan inscriptions (3rd century BC), repeatedly use expressions like 'Hinda' for 'India' and 'Hinda loka' for 'Indian nation'. 'Hinda' and its derivative forms are used more than 70 times in the Ashokan inscriptions. For instance in the Jaugadha, separate rock edict II, the lines 3 &4, read, (All men are my people. I desire for my people that they may be provided with all welfare and happiness. I desire for my people, including the people of Hind and beyond and I desire for all men.) The Edict further, says in lines 7 & 8, (Dhamma may be followed and and the people of Hind and beyond may be served.) The Ashokan inscriptions establish the antiquity of the name 'Hind' for India to atleast third century BC In Persepolis Pahlvi inscriptions of Shahpur II (310 AD) the king has the titles shakanshah hind shakastan u tuxaristan dabiran dabir, "king of Shakastan, minister of ministers of Hind Shakastan and Tukharistan".6 The epigraphic evidence from the Achaemenid, Ashokan and Sasanian Pahlvi records, puts a question mark on the false theory about the term 'Hindu' having originated in Arab usage in the 8th century AD Literary evidence takes the antiquity of the word 'Hindu' back to 5000 BC

The Decline of Classic Maya Civilization: A Systems Perspective Jeremy Sabloff The decline and abandonment of many key cities in the Southern Maya Lowlands around AD 800 has long attracted scholarly and public attention. While archaeologists now understand contrary to previous thought that Maya civilization did not collapse at this time, as a number of Maya cities continued to thrive up until the 16th century Spanish Conquest, the causes of the relatively rapid demise of cities such as Tikal, Palenque, and Copan remain of great interest. New archaeological, epigraphic, and environmental information have enabled archaeologists to form better models that provide more systemic perspectives on this decline than ever before. Sabloff examines the new data and models and discusses their potential relevance to problems facing the world today. View the complete video here: www.santafe.edu

Odisha , Orissa ( ଓଡିଶା ) -6 ଆମ ସୁନ୍ଦର ଓଡିଶା Orissa was renamed as Odisha and Oriya language was renamed as Odia on November 9, 2010 by Parliament of India.The name Odisha is derived from the modified form of ancient words Ora (Ura) or Odra Desa or Sumera or Odra bisaya The earliest epigraphic reference to Odras is found in the Soro copper plate grant of Somadatta from which it is clear that Uttara Tosali with its visaya Sarepahara identified with Soro of Baleswar district was part of Odra Visaya. Both Pali and Sanskrit Literatures mention the Odra people as Oddaka and Odrah, respectively. Ancient writers like Pliny the Elder and Ptolemy described the Odra people as Oretes. In the Mahabharata the Odras are mentioned along with the Paundras, Utkals, Mekalas, Kalingas and Andhras, while according to Manu the Odras are associated with the Paundrakas, Dravidas, Kambojas, Yavanas, Sakas, Paradas, Pallavas, Chinas, Kiratas and Khasas. The location of the Odra territory has been given in the Natural History of Pliny in which it is mentioned that the Oretes were inhabiting the country where stood the Mount Maleus. The Greek Oretes is probably the Sanskrit Odra and the Mount Maleus has been identified with Malayagiri near Pala Lahara. Pliny associates the Mount Maleus with the people called Monedes and Sharis who were probably the same as the Mundas and the Savaras respectively inhabiting the upland regions of Odisha.

The texts are derived from online epigraphic databases of ancient inscriptions maintained by European and North American Archaelogical research institutions. Commentaries to thousands of papyrus, stone, clay and wax inscriptions were collected from these databases, specifically chosen for content refering to readability and fragmentation. Lenticular technology was chosen as an perceptually interactive means of display.

Ancient Macedonian Culture and Beliefs The song is ΣΑΝ ΤΗΝ ΑΓΑΠΗ ΤΗΝ ΚΡΥΦΗ - San tin agapi tin kryfi (like the hidden love) by Eleftheria Arvanitaki (ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΑ ΑΡΒΑΝΙΤΑΚΗ). Ancient Macedonian culture is the same as Ancient Greek culture. The same gods, the same beliefs, the same dress. 'Along with lavish display of every sort, Philip included in the procession statues of the twelve Gods brought with great artistry and adorned with a dazzling show of wealth to strike awe to the beholder, and along with these was conducted a thir***th statue, suitable for a god, that of Philip himself, so that the king exhibited himself enthroned among the twelve Gods.' (Diodorus Histories, Chapter 16, 95.2) `Mount Olympus - Greece's most famous mountain range, home of the Olympian gods, towers 2919m above the plains of Thessaly and Macedonia.' (John S. Bowman, Sherry Marker, Frommer's Greece,p522) `Aphrodite Hypolympidia (Below Olympia) was worshipped in a small, graceful temple where her cult-statue, now in the museum, was found. Dionysos was also honoured near the Hellenistic theatre, built, like the statium, by King Archelaos who caused the religious festivals to be enlivened with athletic and theatrical performances' (Brian De Jongh, John Gandon.

The National Archaeological Museum (Greek: Εθνικό Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο) in Athens houses some of the most important artifacts from a variety of archaeological locations around Greece from prehistory to late antiquity. It is considered one of the great museums in the world and contains the richest collection of artifacts from Greek antiquity worldwide. It is situated in the Exarhia area in central Athens between Epirus Street, Bouboulinas Street and Tositsas Street while its entrance is on the Patission Street adjacent to the historical building of the Athens Polytechnic. The first national archaeological museum in Greece was established by prime minister of Greece Ioannis Kapodistrias in Aigina in 1829. Since then the archaeological collection has been moved to a number of exhibition places until 1858, when an international architectural competition was announced for the location and the architectural design of the new museum.[2] The current location was proposed and the construction of the museum's building began in 1866 and was completed in 1889 using funds from the Greek Government, the Greek Archaeological Society and the society of Mycenae. Major benefactors were Eleni Tositsa who donated the land for the building of the museum, Demetrios and Nikolaos Vernardakis from Saint Petersburg who donated a large amount for the completion of the museum. The initial name for the museum was The Central Museum and it was renamed to ...

Visit of Angkor Wat temples 1999 Angkor Wat (Siem Reap, Cambodia) Angkor Wat (or Angkor Vat) is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built for king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. The largest and best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre—first Hindu, then Buddhist—since its foundation. The temple is the epitome of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors. Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple mountain and the later galleried temples. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the gods in Hindu mythology: within a moat and an outer wall 3.6 km (2.2 miles) long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the centre of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. As well as for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, the temple is admired for its extensive bas-reliefs and for the numerous devatas adorning its walls. The initial design and construction of the temple took place in the first half of the 12th century, during the reign of Suryavarman II (ruled 1113--c. 1150). Dedicated to Vishnu, it was built as the king's state temple and capital city. As neither the foundation stela nor any ...

02 Maranci Architectural Models02.wmv While most scholars of Armenian architecture focus on life-size churches, few have paid attention to a tiny, but related tradition: the stone architectural models of the Caucasus. Produced in great number and in a variety of contexts, these diminutive churches form a unique tradition within the art of the Middle Ages, East or West. Held by donors in sculptural relief, mounted on church gables, and fixed to the interior portals of monasteries, the models assume the form of miniature domed churches. Considering medieval Armenian architectural and textual traditions, this talk will ask why they emerged and what they might have meant to the contemporary viewer. Did the models hold a ritual function? Increasing epigraphic, sculptural, and architectural evidence suggests that ceremonial movement occurred outside, as well as inside the church. This hypothesis may thus shed light on models such as that held by King Gagik at Agh'tamar. The models might also reflect a broader, self-referential trend in Armenian architecture of the tenth century and later. In considering the performative, iconographic, and practical roles of stone models in the Transcaucasus, Dr. Maranci will provide a new framework for understanding an understudied yet striking tradition of medieval art. This lecture was given in memory of Arshag Merguerian (1926-2005), architect and an active member and friend of NAASR for nearly fifty years.

Who are the Illyrians? "An extinct Indo-European language spoken in Illyria and known only from scattered personal and geographical names preserved in Greek and Roman sources." "They spoke a language of which almost no trace has survived. That is belonged to the family of Indo-European languages has been deduced from the many names of Illyrian peoples and places preserved in Greek and Latin records, both literary and epigraphic. We cannot be sure that any of them actually called themselves Illyrians: in the case of most of them it is near certain they did not." (John Wilkes, THE ILLYRIANS, p3) "In general the Illyrians have tended to be recognized from a negative standpoint, in that they were manifestly not Celts, Dacians or Thracians, or Greeks or Macedonians, their neighbours on the north, east and south respectively." (John Wilkes, THE ILLYRIANS, p3) "many Greek and Roman writers seem to vie with each other in expressing their contempt and detestation for Illyrians." (John Wilkes, THE ILLYRIANS, p3) "As 'savages' or 'barbarians' on the northern periphery of the classical world, even today Illyrians barely make the footnotes in most versions of ancient history and more often than not they are simply ignored." (John Wilkes, THE ILLYRIANS, p4) "The Illyrians of DALMATIA, PANNONIA and one part of MOESIA SUPERIOR were not a pure race. The earliest population of these lands was Thracian. Then came the Illyrians, who enslaved it. Later appeared the Celts, who mixed with the ...

Archaeologist Garrucci Raffaele reported the academic term in international media in mid-nine***th century The neologism popularized and passed into colloquial English to be used in New York newspapers in the seventies. Under the influence of American culture, the term became popular in other languages, including Castilian. Interestingly, although the term graffiti has gone into many languages, in Italian the term is used of English writing to refer to the graffiti style hip-hop, because graffiti is left to its original meaning. Among Spanish speakers, is common to hear graffiti, plural, because, although the source language the word is already plural, not considered in this way the layer. The Dictionary of Doubts Panhispánico the Royal Spanish Academy recommends the use of the word graphite.

Ancient Greek proverbs, written & spoken - 3 quotes from Delphi (with audio) μηδὲν ἄγαν. Nothing in excess. (Or, perhaps, "Moderation in all things.") γνῶθι σεαυτόν. Know yourself. ("Know thyself.") ἐγγύα πάρα δ' ἄτη. A pledge is near to ruin. ("Make a pledge, and mischief is nigh.") These three Greek sayings were inscribed into the temple at Delphi (famous for its Delphic Oracle). I write them in Ancient Greek letters and pronounce them aloud, approximating the early pronunciation. The first three lines include all phrases iin uppercase (the ancient monumental/epigraphic script). Below that, these same phrases are written in lowercase with diacritics (the common way of writing Ancient Greek).

Ethnic Macedonian is a Racist Term The song is Allothi (ΑΛΛΟΘΙ), from Macedonian singer Vasilis Karras (ΒΑΣΙΛΗΣ ΚΑΡΡΑΣ). WHAT SLAVS DESIRE: .mk ARE SLAVS ETHNIC MACEDONIANS?

During the Slavic invasions most of the indigenous inhabitants of the Balkan interior, including those in the region of Macedonia, were forced either to flee to the coast areas, where the Byzantine military could offer some protection, or to hole up in the interiors fortress towns, where they were surrounded by Slavs who settled the countryside, isolated, and eventually assimilated into the interlopers ranks."

Considering medieval Armenian architectural and textual traditions, this talk will ask why they emerged and what they might have meant to the contemporary viewer. Did the models hold a ritual function? Increasing epigraphic, sculptural, and architectural evidence suggests that ceremonial movement occurred outside, as well as inside the church. This hypothesis may thus shed light on models such as that held by King Gagik at Agh'tamar. The models might also reflect a broader, self-referential trend in Armenian architecture of the tenth century and later. In considering the performative, iconographic, and practical roles of stone models in the Transcaucasus, Dr. Maranci will provide a new framework for understanding an understudied yet striking tradition of medieval art. This lecture was given in memory of Arshag Merguerian (1926-2005), architect and an active member and friend of NAASR for nearly fifty years.
